the reason is that he played on a team full of 5 to 3 year college vets. And people were complaining why he didn't get more minutes. That actually speaks more for him than against him.
Oh completely agree. It should set off fire alarms for everybody how little productive he was in college and how limited the role he was entrusted to play. Seems like a good kid with some enticing signals, but this is a player whose responsibilities were far removed from other freshmen, and there's probably good reason.

Yeah, I hear that excuse all the time but it doesn't check out to me.
Bryant is not the big Wemby needs. So I expect the Spurs to pick accordingly. Unless they have trade or two in mind.
Essengue with another impressive performance today. It’s a shame - I think he has a ton of potential but picking another wing with a very questionable jumper just doesn’t feel like the move. If we had different personnel I think he’d be further up my board.
It doesn't matter. He won't be there at 14 anyway...
Bryant is a wing. More SF than PF
Yep. He’s gone now. Too much helium.
You’re probably right - he seems like a top 10 guy at this point.
I’m looking forward to this pick the most.
I wouldn't. There is a high chance it gets traded.
Are you another team’s fan? Pretty high chance it gets moved.
Why is that?
Spurs still have holes to fill on the roster and there will be useful players in this draft at 14.
This draft is much deeper with talent than last year. I expect the spurs to draft and keep the pick this year.
I think they should keep this pick. Everyone keeps saying the draft is flat between 6-20. This is where you trust your scouting people.
I expect them to keep it too. If there's a significant moves to be made im sure it'll be on the table, but this puck is worth more this year than recent drafts.
The reason is because his team was full of seniors and older players. In close games he was in the end-game lineups.
Don't get fooled because college coaches play favorites.
My dream picks for #14 are in order;
Carter Bryant
Noa Essengue
Derik Queen
Cedric Coward
Rasheer Fleming
Collin Murray-Boyles
Thomas Sorber
Maxime Raynaud
Kevin O'Conner Mock Draft....It has Maluach falling to #14
https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/draft/?...er=round%3Aall
It wouldn’t be the biggest shocker if Maluach ends up slipping to the back half of the lottery with wings on the rise. And the Spurs could be a good landing spot for him since he could play both next to Victor Wembanyama and behind him as a much-needed backup center. Malauch is a towering rim protector with switchable mobility, erasing shots at the rim and shadowing quick guards on the perimeter. But beyond dunking lobs, he’s a work in progress on offense with a lack of seasoning as a screener, shooter, and creator. Such a raw skill-set should come as no surprise since the South Sudan native didn’t start playing basketball until he was 13. The Spurs can be patient with him, though, letting him play a focused role as he grows in those fundamental areas of the game.
Atlanta picking Jase over Maluach is a fireable offense
We need veterans now, but will need cost controlled rookies in five years. Kick this pick down the road.
The Hawks already fired their GM. New guy might think he has some runway and can make risky moves early.
I get the sentiment, and have been talking about how I think it’s fairly unlikely they keep this pick. That being said I’m hoping they do. This just seems like a great draft class where there are multiple guys who could turn out to be high level role players that fit our needs at 14. Obviously if the Spurs don’t feel the same way they should trade the pick.
My thoughts are that there is a possibility that they keep the pick, but the probability is in the 15-20% range. Someone really good would have to fall, like Paul Pierce to the Celtics at #11 back in the day. I’m expecting the pick to be flipped, especially since our pick stash was depleted in the Fox trade.
If he's there at 14 you take him. No brainer.
My latest wish list at #14 is (in order):
Essengue (can’t resist the potential there)
Bryant (still looks like a perfect role player for a championship team full of stars)
CMS (mocks are way underselling him. I just watched his last game against Arkansas and focused on him the entire game. He’s a bit unorthodox but he’s a baller with a 1A star mentality. He does so much on the court. All the little things. An incredibly cerebral player. I totally believe he will develop a three point shot and become a star. He is such a good defender too. He has the brains to be a true spur. And would be a perfect fit next to Wemby. I know this dates me but he reminds me of a young player coming into the league named Charles Barkley lol. Watch his games. Amazing talent and brains for the game!)
Coward (don’t really know enough about him to feel certain but I like what I do see more than Fleming for example).
